Great game
Its a great game, everything about it is fun and flashed out. Even the music was well thought out.
But there is one bit that annoys the crap out of me and its always the same combination of rider chasing then arrows in front to block after which there is no time to doge the branch in front of me. I have litterally been stuck on one part of the game because of this.
Excellent! But the lag is disappointing
This is a wonderfully made game. It has such a simple concept but it's very addictive! You can end up playing it for hours! I like how you added a Prince of Persia-esk "No.. wait, that didn't happen!" It's just a nice little touch.
Unfortunately, even on the lowest graphics setting the same still seems to lag to the point where it's impossible to win. It's perfectly understandable when you accidentally jump into a farmer and get skewered, but when you've been repeatedly pressing the jump button to jump over a soldier and it just doesn't seem to happen, that's when it gets a little bit annoying. I have no problem with my reflexes letting me down, but when the game just seems to be refreshing from the last action and that's what makes you die... I don't know, it seems like a bit of a flaw in the game.
Maybe a setting where the farmers etc. didn't explode into a shower of blood whenever you killed them for the people who are feeling the lag? The game reacting quickly to your button presses is really the key to this game. What's worse is that my computer isn't exactly old and terrible, either. I'm sure a lot of people are experiencing this.
Apart from that, I don't have much else to say. Very well made!

Have you tried playing in popup mode, or even on my site evil-dog.com, the layout is much lighter.
Beatyful
But Hard as you warned. this is first time that i play games in newgrounds as pissed as iam at the moment, But still i played for long long time. very addicting game and really challenging. Thumbs up!
Great game
This game is a good reflex trainer, ten minutes a day on survival or pursuit will help sharpen your reflexes a little. I liked it more than games like DDR because you either do it right or do it wrong (and die!).
Artwork is good, voices are good, music is good and the whole game is pretty damn good. It's challenging, has a lot of replay value from the different modes and it's so satisfying to kill those annoying farmers. Seriously, those guys camp at the most inconvenient jumps imaginable.
The game has a few problems, though. Some are personal, probably only I have and others are a little off. The white flash during slow-mo kind of resets my eyes when I'm scanning for obstacles which is a pain on the 4th level. Also, like I mentioned, those damn farmers camping really close to the landing point of long jumps is a little annoying. One specific combination which almost always got me was arrows coming at me right before a branch so when I block the arrows I don't have time to duck. I didn't see that too many times so it didn't prevent me from finishing the last level. A last thing is when she acknowledges a knight is gone, it muffles a lot of the other sounds and she won't warn you about arrows until she is done. No major issues really.
If anybody is having trouble passing the 4th level, just practice because it's really long (like 3 minutes with half of it being in charge mode). A tip would be to disable music so you can clearly differentiate between the voices and hear where the arrows are coming from. Get used to being in charge mode too, it's best to stay in that mode for as long as you can so knights won't bother you.
Again, great game.
